I'm good at doing the laundry. At least that. And it's a religious experience...Water, earth, fire-polarities of wet and dry, hot and cold, dirty and clean. The great cycles-round and round-beginning and end-Alpha and Omega, amen.

Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.

Share everything. Don't take things that aren't yours. Put things back where you found them.

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

I once listed all the good things I did over the past year, and then turned them into resolution form and backdated them. That was a good feeling

You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.
